Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has sinusitis and a new prescription for cefuroxime. Which of the following client information is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The client has a history of a severe penicillin allergy. This is the priority for the nurse to report because cefuroxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic, which has a cross-reactivity with penicillin. Clients with a severe penicillin allergy are at higher risk of an allergic reaction to cephalosporins like cefuroxime. It is crucial to ensure the provider is aware of this allergy to avoid potential severe adverse reactions. Reporting this information promptly allows the provider to make informed decisions about alternative antibiotics or potential desensitization protocols.

Incorrect choices:
A: The client reports a history of nausea with cefuroxime - Nausea is a common side effect of antibiotics and can often be managed symptomatically.
B: The client has a BUN level of 18 mg/dL - An elevated BUN level may require monitoring but is not directly related to the prescription of cefuroxime
